Nawazuddin Siddique- The One Man Army in “Manjhi”
“Jab tak torenge nahi…tab tak chorenge nahi”- the strong dialouge delivered by
Nawazuddin Siddique shown in the trailer gives the very idea of how the whole movie is
going to be. His brilliant acting paves the way towards the justification of the character
of real life Hero Dasrath Manjhi, the “Mountain Man”. Director Ketan Mehta’s
experienced eyes have rightly chosen Nawaz as the reel life hero of the film.
Based on a true story, the film “Manjhi” is about Dasrath Manjhi, a village man who
carved a mountain to make a way for the villagers ‘easy access to hospital all by himself
just with a hammer and a chisel. It took 22 yrs. to make the 60-foot-long (110 m), 25-footdeep (7.6 m) and 30-foot-wide (9.1 m) to form a road. According to the man, it is his love
and passion for his wife to make this big. Similarly, Nawazuddin struggled for many
years to get into the mainstreamed eyes to see his versatility as an actor. It is his
passion and love for acting which he has already proved earlier helped him bagged the
lead role of the film.
The very talented actor Nawazuddin Siddique’s ‘oh-so-real’ acting gives the real
Manjhi’s assiduous effort and lovable character a true justice. We can straightaway say
‘’Nawazuddin Siddique is the best fit for the character of Dashrath Majhi”.though in an
interview the actor uttered "It is the toughest and passionate love story. It was toughest
characters of my life - both physically and mentally."
Besides, Radhika Apte as Dasrath manjhis wife Falguni Devi, Pankaj Tripathi Ruab as
the landlord’s son, Gaurav Dwivedi as Alok Jha a journalist, Ashraful Haq as MagruDashrath’s father, Jagat Rawat as Shuklji, Varadraj Swami as Gopal Father, Deepa Sahi
